Traffic Information

Driving in Munich is generally low key and easy, as the main roadways are clearly marked and safe. In 2008, the city of Munich established a "low emission zone", thus all of our vehicles provide the necessary sticker to prove that they meet emission standards. There are several main roads that lead to Munich. The Autobahn 8, A8, runs from Stuttgart-Munich and the A9 between Nuernberg and Munich, which is also considered to be one of the busier roads in the area. To avoid congestion at rush hour, there are smaller roadways that are known as B service roads that can be taken. When driving near or around the urban center there are several parking garages available, the biggest one located at the Munich Hauptbahnhof.
